Abilities
Smoke Vision — The striding fire ignores the Concealed condition from smoke.
Burning Rush (fire, primal) — The striding fire stretches out its legs to an impossible length, propelling it forward. The striding fire Strides up to double its Speed in a straight line. Its movement during this Stride doesn't trigger reactions. Any creature the striding fire was adjacent to at any point during this Stride must attempt a DC 24 Reflex save. If it critically fails, it's knocked Prone by a wave of heated air. The striding fire can't use Burning Rush for 1d4 rounds.
